Thats when you become totally taken away by the chillness different textures and flavours its simply decadent. I have already did nannari syrup recipe in my blog please check or

you can use store bought one. Same way you can make your own ice-cream or use store-bought vanilla ice-cream. Originally they call it as bhai ice-cream which is specially made from scratch to add to this jigarthanda. Here I have used homemade unsweetened khova but you can use a store bought one. Don’t skip the step making caramelised sugar it gives the taste and most importantly the colour. There is no particular order for assembling this drink. Any how we are going to mix up well and drink it. Some add corn flour to thicken up milk but reducing milk is the right way to get nice taste and texture.

Notes

You can arrange your jigarthanda as you wish.
If you love to make your own ice-cream make it from scratch.
Ingredients should be made or kept readily chilled in fridge before assembling.
I have diluted only small quantity of milk with caramelized sugar but you can stir in all the milk and arrange.
The colour comes only from caramelized sugar so don’t miss that step.
Few pisin pieces blooms so much so don’t add too much.
